Aadhaar data safe behind a wall!

According to the government's top lawyer, Attorney General KK Venugopal, Aadhaar data is secure behind 13-foot high, 5-foot thick walls. He assured the five-judge constitutional bench in the
Supreme Court that biometric data taken from millions of Indians is kept safe in a complex in Manesar, near Delhi.

The Centre has also assured the Supreme Court that Aadhaar is far from a "fly-by-night effort to score some brownie points" and that it is a serious scheme to put an end to corruption.

The apex court is
hearing petitions questioning the privacy of data taken for the unique ID system.
